The visit of the reality show star Kim Kardashian and her family to the historical homeland has caused a big fuss not only in Armenia but in the West as well. Almost all famous western mass media have referred to the ''epoch-making'' visit.
The British ''The Daily Mail'' magazine has posted an article entitled ''Armenia, here we come! Kim Kardashian returns to her roots''. A photo shoot taken in Los Angeles airport is presented there, portraying Kardashian, Kanye West and their daughter. The TV star was getting ready for a flight to Armenia.
The goal of the Kardashian family's visit to Armenia is to participate in the events dedicated to the 100th centennial of the mass pogroms committed against Armenians in the Ottoman Empire.
''Cameras will reportedly follow the stars as they pay homage to their heritage on the eight-day visit for TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians,'' writes dailymail.co.uk. The source reminds that Kim's father, Robert Kardashian, is of Armenian origin, and this visit to Yerevan can be considered a pilgrimage of great importance.
''The Daily Mail'' British magazine also writes that a royal reception had been organized for the 34-year-old star at Zvartnots International Airport. The magazine has referred to the girls in traditional Armenian dresses (taraz), who welcomed their world-famous compatriot with bread and salt.
Other international authoritative magazines have also referred to the Kardashian family visit. Specifically, The USA Today writes that Armenian American Kim Kardashian arrived in the capital of her ancestral homeland Wednesday, met by the usual chaos of jostling fans and journalists that accompanies her everywhere. Among the reasons for the visit the American magazine mentions that the family wants to go back to the roots, as well as to pay tribute to the Armenian genocide centennial.
The magazine ''Hello'' writes that thanks to the Kardashian family many people get acquainted with little but beautiful Armenia, which is very attractive for tourists.
The stars of the evening have responded to their own visit, too. Particularly, Chloe Kardashian has posted on Instagram, “The love and welcoming to Armenia has been overwhelmingly beautiful!!! I wholeheartedly, can't believe all of you Angels who are outside our hotel with flowers and smiles. I'm incredibly eager to get some sleep and see Armenia in the day light! I hope I'm able to sleep. I'm so excited to be here!!”
Kim Kardashian has written down, "We are so grateful to be here and start this journey of a lifetime! Thank you to everyone who greeted us! I can't wait to explore our country and have some yummy food!'' Then she added that her dad and grandparents would be so proud to see all this.
